President Trump is shaking up the leadership of the FBI, fueling speculation about director Kash Patel's future, but the White House dismiss the rumors as mere talk.
As reported by Fox News, former Missouri Attorney general Andrew Bailey was sworn in as co-deputy director on Monday, in an unprecedented power-sharing arrangement with current No. 2, Dan Bongino.
Bailey's appointment had been announced in August, before the assassination of Charlie Kirk put FBI leadership back in the spotlight.
When the shakeup was first announced, there were questions about whether deputy director Bongino was being sidelined following a clash with attorney general Pam Bondi over the Epstein files. Bongino reportedly gave Trump an ultimatum, threatening to quit unless Bondi was fired.
The exact reason for Bailey's appointment as co-deputy is still unclear. Bailey left Missouri with the expectation of replacing Patel eventually, Fox reported, citing "Patel’s harshest critics."
A senior White House source dismissed talk about Patel being reassigned to a different role, saying the chatter is coming from people with a vested interest in forcing him out, Fox News said.
Trump's leadership team put on a united front in response to Fox News, rejecting speculation of Patel's ouster.
"Any suggestion that I was brought in to replace anyone in leadership at the FBI or spin my appointment into a sign of division, is simply false - I am honored to serve the FBI and Department of Justice as we work together to keep our nation safe," Bailey told Fox News.
While Fox claims that Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, lack confidence in Patel, they both denied the claim.
"We work with Director Patel every single day and fully support his leadership at the FBI. The suspect is in handcuffs today because of the outstanding work of Director Patel and our law enforcement partners. Any suggestion to the contrary does not reflect the reality of our strong working relationship and shared commitment to protecting the American people," Bondi and Blanche said.
During the manhunt for Charlie Kirk's killer, Patel was slammed for prematurely claiming that the suspect was in custody. He was also criticized for invoking the Norse afterlife, Valhalla, in a tribute to Kirk at a press conference where 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was named as the suspect.
Patel's defenders have noted the 33-hour search was over relatively quickly after the FBI shared images that led to Robinson being confronted by his father.
When asked about his FBI over the weekend, Trump said he is happy with everyone.
"I am very proud of the FBI," Trump told Fox News Digital Saturday. "Kash — and everyone else — they have done a great job."

Only a day after WorldNetDaily reported more than one perpetrator may have been involved in the assassination scheme that killed Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk while he was speaking at a free speech event at a Utah school, there's confirmation now that other individuals now are the targets of FBI agents.
The civil rights leader and outspoken Christian leader was gunned down at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, and a suspect, Tyler Robinson, described as a being far left on the political spectrum and a supporter of the LGBT ideology, in fact sharing an apartment with a man transitioning to be a "woman," had been arrested.
But FBI chief Kash Patel explained during an interview Monday that the suspect allegedly was involved in social media chat groups in which the plan to murder Kirk apparently was a topic of discussion.
There are other members of Discord chat rooms, and "scores are going to be spoken to," Patel said.
He said the FBI already had obtained message exchanges between the suspect and his live-in partner, and data from cell phone use and more was being used to identified where the suspect had various conversations, and with whom he was speaking.
He said the FBI is moving carefully through the process so what is found can be used as evidence in court.
Text messages, in fact, talked about the "opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it."
The public, Patel said, has a right to know who knew of the assassin's plans, and what they did with that knowledge:
Assistant FBI chief Dan Bongino, also during an interview, said a focal point is what happened when an "individual expresses in advance his desire or her desire to do these specific things … The target was announced in advance. … Did they say and hear it and think it was some kind of joke? There's a larger network here."
In fact, a report at the Free Beacon indicated the FBI is investigating social media posts "by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk."
That's according to those familiar with the investigation and screenshots the publication obtained.
"The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk's assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok," the Free Beacon explained.
"The FBI has received archived copies of the posts, according to a person who flagged them for the agency. Screenshots of the posts have been circulating online but had not been previously authenticated. While the posts do not establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, the 22-year-old gunman who allegedly shot Kirk, several of them mention the conservative activist by name and fantasize about his death."
One social media statement, on Sept. 3, said, "itd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO."
And one from Aug. 6 said, "september 10th will be a very interesting day." After Kirk's assassination, that same speaker said, "I plead the fifth."
One person "who appears to follow Robinson's roommate, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok, … posted as soon as Kirk was killed, "WE F—— DID IT."
The report said, "Several of the accounts under investigation appear to be associated with LGBT subcultures. One individual, 'Osamu bin Tezuka,' used the X handle '@fujoshincel,' a reference to a genre of anime that depicts romantic relationships between men. Another user, '@NajraGalvz,' who had wished death to Kirk and predicted that 'something big will happen' when he set foot on campus, had identified as nonbinary on X."
The LGBT factor should provide alarms for Americans, as multiple recent mass shootings, before the Kirk assassination, involved those caught in the transgender culture.
The Free Beacon noted, "a video posted on TikTok the night before the shooting, an individual who appears to be transgender wrote that 'charles james kirk…does not know what's coming tomorrow.'"
The Free Beacon pointed out, "the posts do not establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, the 22-year-old gunman who allegedly shot Kirk, several of them mention the conservative activist by name and fantasize about his death."
Alarmingly, one mentions "Donald Trump. December 14th," in the same discussion.
WND's earlier report noted that journalist Benny Johnson posted on X: "Just spoke with top FBI official who made it very clear that they have NOT ruled out co-conspirators in Charlie Kirk's assassination: 'That assumption is premature. This investigation is just beginning. An enormous amount of evidence has been seized both digital and physical.'"
"FBI sources assure me the public will 'know everything' about the dark internet history, chats and affiliations of Kirk's left-wing political assassin," Johnson continued. "The source then alluded to some online groups attempting to delete or destroy evidence."
"We have everything. We are focused on the radicalization element. The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified. The public will know," according to the source.
Journalist Nick Sortor confirmed the bureau is actively digging through chat logs, dark web history, and affiliations of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in custody, noting: "Another FBI source independently verified to me Benny's reporting here is accurate."
"NO STONE should be left unturned. We must know exactly WHO radicalized this degenerate, and lock their asses up."
Elon Musk earlier had blasted left-wing violence and the assassination of Kirk, saying "The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder."
"See how much violence there is on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. Let that sink in for a minute. That's who we're dealing with here."
This story was originally published by the WND News Center.
The suspect in the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who died after being shot at a free speech event in Utah last week, went to social media afterward and told his friends: "Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this."
The apparently confession came from suspect Tyler Robinson, who was arrested shortly after posting the statement.
The message came from an account belonging to Robinson and was on Discord.
A report posted at PJMedia explained it was in that statement Robinson "reportedly admitted his involvement in the murder."
The report comes even as law enforcement officials continue their investigation of the facts of Kirk's death, and Robinson's alleged involvement, an investigation with which Robinson apparently is not cooperating.
"A member of the group chat shared an image of the conversation with The Post and confirmed that it came from Robinson's account. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their privacy and out of fear of harassment," the report said.
Authorities then were able to obtain a copy of the message from Discord, a source explained.
The message from Robinson's account went to "a small private group of online friends," the report said.
Apparently Discord also is working with the FBI and other police investigators, following its initial claim that its own review discovered "no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord."
The report described Robinson as having been "radicalized in his political views over recent years."
"By the time of the shooting, Robinson seemed entrenched in a hostile mindset toward Kirk and conservatives more broadly," the report explained.
It explained that other Discord users had commented on the assassination, with one commenting: "Bro didn't deserve to go out like that sad."
Then Robinson added, "im surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments. … thanks for all the good times and laughs, you've all been so amazing, thank you all for everything."
Authorities also have confirmed that were are a number of individuals in Robinson's online circle who may have had information about a coming tragedy – and likely did nothing to prevent it, and they now are being investigated.

President Donald Trump's Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is urging major U.S. commercial airlines to fire pilots and other employees who openly celebrated last week's assassination of civil-rights leader Charlie Kirk.
In a series of posts over the weekend, Duffy thanked American Airlines, United, Delta and SkyWest for suspending the viciously vocal pilots, but also pushed for their termination.
"Thank you @united for doing what's right by placing pilots celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk out of service," Duffy wrote. "They must be fired. There's no room for political violence in America and anyone applauding it will face the consequences. ESPECIALLY those we count on to ensure the safety of the flying public."
"Anyone entrusted with the safety of American souls on a plane must have good judgment and compassion," Duffy indicated.
"As our world heals from the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, we must continue condemning political violence for the greater good of our country."
"This behavior is disgusting and they should be fired," Duffy also stated. "Any company responsible for the safety of the traveling public cannot tolerate that behavior.
"We heal as a country when we send the message that glorifying political violence is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!"
Duffy was responding to messages by Milo Yiannopoulos, a self proclaimed civil-rights icon, who noted:
"Steve Holmes, a pilot for @AmericanAir, says he is sorry Charlie Kirk got shot 'in your fat f***ing face,' mocking his death as 'the cost of our liberty.' Is this normal, American? Passengers will be concerned that yet another pilot of yours is so shameless, hateful and reckless."
Milo also noted: "Andrew Schweizer, a pilot for @united and @SkyWestAirlines, says he is glad Charlie Kirk is dead, because he was a 'f***ing Nazi,' stressing that he 'chose those words deliberately.' Would you put your life in Andrew's hands?"
American Airlines released a statement about behavior by employees, explaining: "American Airlines condemns violence of any kind. Furthermore, hate-related or hostile behavior runs contrary to our purpose, which is to care for people on life's journey. Any such behavior is unacceptable, and we have already initiated action to address this with our team."
A leaked internal memo from Delta was published by AviationA2Z, detailing the airline's recent actions. The memo stated:
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said during several Sunday appearances on news shows that the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, is not cooperating with authorities, although his family and roommate are.
“He has not confessed to, to authorities,” Cox told ABC News’s This Week co-anchor Martha Raddatz. “He is, he is, he is not cooperating, but, but, but all the people around him are cooperating. And I think that’s, that’s, that’s very important.”
Robinson, age 22, was arrested on Friday, and is expected to be formally charged on Tuesday.
Cox also clarified several reports that have gone around the media and social media since Robinson was arrested.
On NBC’s Meet the Press, Cox said that Robinson was not a Republican or a conservative, though his family was conservative.
“We can confirm…according to family and people we are interviewing, he does come from a conservative family but his ideology was very different than his family,” he told the show.
Cox also confirmed that Robinson was in a romantic relationship with his transgender roommate, who is transitioning from male to female.
The roommate “did not have any knowledge (of the assassination), was shocked when they found out about it,” Cox said, adding that they have been "very cooperative."
Authorities are still investigating how the roommate's transitioning played into Robinson's motive, but it seems pretty clear that Robinson had anger towards Kirk for comments he had made about transgender ideology.
Cox also confirmed that Robinson joked around with friends on a Discord chat about being the gunman, and then admitted it was really him.
“All we can confirm is that those conversations definitely were happening, and they did not believe it was actually him. It was, it was all joking until, until he, you know, until he admitted that it actually was him,” Cox said.
Robinson had been a "very normal, very smart" young man who attended Utah State University for a semester before dropping out after one semester.
After dropping out, Robinson spent a lot of his time gaming and discovered the “deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture and these other dark places,” Cox said.
More information will be forthcoming when formal charges are filed on Tuesday, Cox said on all the Sunday shows.
Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson is being held under “special watch” inside the Utah County Jail, where he is awaiting formal charges for Kirk's shooting on Wednesday.
The Utah County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ on Saturday that Robinson, 22, will be held under "special watch" pending a mental health evaluation to determine if he is a danger to himself or to others.
Obviously, there are other reasons to keep Robinson under special watch to ensure that no one else has the opportunity to get to Robinson and make sure that he takes his side of this tragedy to the grave.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, Robinson told his father that he would rather kill himself than be handed over to the police when confronted by his family following the shooting.
While Robinson hasn't been formally charged with anything, everyone has a vested interest in Robinson remaining alive and being forced to testify and divulge his motive in killing Kirk in such a horrific way.
Police have Robinson under surveillance 24 hours a day via security cameras that are positioned in the special housing unit. It's likely that prison guards are periodically checking in on Robinson as well to ensure his well-being.
Robinson will be charged this coming week, likely with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice.
Aggravated murder is the most important charge that will be filed against Robinson, as it carries the death penalty as a possible sentence. Utah Governor Spencer Cox mentioned the death penalty in his initial statements on Kirk's assassination.
Robinson is alleged to have killed Kirk during an appearance at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was taking questions in front of a crowd of hundreds of students and fans.
Kirk was answering a question about transgender mass shooters during his “Prove Me Wrong” segment when a shot rang out, and Kirk was hit in the neck. The bleeding was instant and profuse, and this horrifying incident was extremely traumatic for all in attendance.
Of course, this tragedy has been traumatic for the entire nation as radical leftists have been openly celebrating Kirk's death, with some even calling for more violence against conservatives, including Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk.
Kirk's assassination could very well be a turning point for the United States. Kirk's death shocked Americans of all political persuasions, and the reaction of the monsters on the far-left further ingrained that shock and horror.
Kirk had been working for his whole life to effect a massive shift in the culture and he may have succeeded at that goal, albeit at the cost of his own life. Already, thousands of young Americans are rallying to Turning Point USA's banners.
Kirk's ideas and vision will live on stronger than ever because of his martyrdom and Robinson will face justice, likely the death penalty, if Utah's leadership has anything to do with it.
In a notable conclusion to a high-profile bribery scandal, Nadine Menendez, the wife of former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, was sentenced to 54 months in prison, The Hill reported.
Nadine's sentencing marks a significant chapter in the bribery case involving trading political influence for personal gain.
The legal proceedings uncovered that Nadine Menendez played a significant role in a bribery scheme alongside her husband. Convicted in April, her involvement included the exchange of her husband's political influence for bribes, such as cash, gold bars, and a luxury vehicle.
During the sentencing, U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein acknowledged several mitigating factors that led to a more lenient sentence than the seven years prosecutors had initially sought.
These factors included Nadine’s health struggles, her age of 58, challenging personal history, and early life in Lebanon—all contributing to Judge Stein's decision. The judge emphasized that the sentence should serve as a deterrent against similar offenses in the future.
"People have to understand there are consequences," Judge Stein remarked, underscoring the intended message of the sentence.
During her trial, Nadine portrayed herself as being under her husband's manipulation, claiming she was compelled to act upon his demands.
Through tears, she expressed her disbelief at the situations she found herself in, stating, "I would never have imagined someone of his ranking putting me in this position." Nadine admitted a lack of judgment in her involvement, distancing herself from her husband's actions.
Her husband, Bob Menendez, who is currently serving an 11-year sentence for his part in the bribery scheme and for acting as an agent of the Egyptian government, defended her character in a letter to the court. He argued that it was incorrect to claim Nadine was primarily driven by monetary motivations.
The breadth of the bribery scheme not only ensnared the Menendez couple but also involved other businessmen, two of whom are currently serving prison terms. Another business associate has pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
The prosecutors described Nadine Menendez’s involvement as eager and significant, stating she was "Second only to Menendez" in the scheme. On the contrary, Nadine sought a reduced sentence of just over a year, citing a need for ongoing treatment for breast cancer, influencing the judge's decision on the delay of prison surrender until July 10.
Her legal team also presented documentation regarding her health complications from a plastic surgeon to further substantiate her plea for a lesser sentence.
The case has stirred discussions about the implications of personal responsibility and the influence of powerful individuals in compromising ethical boundaries.
The sentencing of Nadine Menendez closes a chapter on this particular instance of political corruption, but it also highlights ongoing concerns about the integrity of individuals in positions of power. The community continues to watch closely as the justice system addresses these significant breaches of trust.
As this legal battle concludes, the echoes of its outcomes are likely to influence future political and legal standards concerning corruption and accountability in public office.
Despite backlash from all levels on the left, President Donald Trump used his military authority to deploy National Guard troops to the streets of Washington D.C. to help local law enforcement clean up the city's obvious crime problem.
Now that it's clear that such assistance is highly beneficial to local and state cops, according to the Daily Caller, President Trump has announced where he will soon be sending the next batch of National Guard units.
During an interview on "Fox & Friends," President Trump expressed his willingness to deploy the National Guard wherever the country needs it in order to crack down on crime, and Memphis, Tennessee, could be the next stop.
The president was adamant that he would deploy whatever assets necessary to help quell the city's crime problem, which is on par with what Washington D.C. was dealing with.
As he usually does, President Trump held nothing back when detailing his plans regarding sending in the troops wherever the need arises.
"I think maybe I’ll be the first to say it right now, again, we’re going to Memphis. Memphis is deeply troubled, and the mayor is happy, he is a Democrat mayor, the mayor is happy, and the governor of Tennessee, the governor is happy, deeply troubled. We’re going to fix that, just like we did Washington," Trump said.
Reports surfaced earlier this month that Trump was set on sending troops into Chicago, but wanted the city's leaders to welcome the idea first.
Instead, he explained why he and his administration landed on the idea of going into Memphis after talking to the head of Union Pacific.
“And I said, ‘what do you think, where should we go next?’ as a city? Cause we are going on, two, and then we will do a few at a time. He said ‘sir, Memphis would be good because, he’s on board of FedEx, ‘when I walk one block to my hotel, they put me in an armored vehicle with bullet-proof glass to take me one block.’ He said it is terrible," the president said.
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just announced he will be sending the National Guard into MEMPHIS
Both the Republican Governor AND the Democrat Mayor are happy with this
"We're bringing in the National Guard... and the military, if we need it." 🔥 pic.twitter.com/25fB6IopLu
— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) September 12, 2025
Users across social media chimed in on the idea of National Guard troops being deployed to crime-ridden Memphis.
"Make Memphis Great Again!" one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "So Memphis will be a good vacation spot in a few months."
It'll be interesting to see if Trump gets similar results in Memphis as he did in the nation's capital.

In the wake of last week's assassination of Charlie Kirk, a U.S. senator says "there must be consequences" for those who are celebrating the murder of the Christian champion and conservative giant.
Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, Sen. Katie Britt, R- Ala., who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, blasted the vicious hate and celebrations of Kirk's killing, saying: "It is absolutely disgusting. The rhetoric that led us to this moment, calling President Trump a fascist, calling him Hitler.
"You have news organizations in mainstream media celebrating that, allowing those things to take place and be said on their networks. That is dangerous."
Britt continued: "Now people that are celebrating Charlie's murder, celebrating a political assassination, that should never happen in the United States of America."
"We must do more. We must stand firm and there must be consequences with regards to people spewing that type of hate and celebration in the face of this, and I believe that there will be. And I certainly plan to hold them accountable.
"So if you are out there and you are celebrating the political assassination of a man who was exercising his free speech, a very foundational element, a cornerstone of who we are as the United States of America, you should be held accountable, you should fired. And that is the beginning and the end of it. Full stop."
As WorldNetDaily reported, some Americans have already been fired for their hateful comments about Kirk, including MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd, high-school social studies teacher Wynne Boliek of Greenville, South Carolina, transgender-identifying author Gretchen Felker-Martin, and an unidentified assistant dean at Middle Tennessee State University.
The U.S. Army also suspended and is investigating Maj. Bryan Bintliff, a reserve officer who goes by "Bryan Harlow" on social media and as an actor, and who cheered on Kirk's killing.
When asked by Bartiromo what could elected officials do about the problem, Britt responded: "We take what President Trump has already done. His leadership has been tremendous on this.
"You saw the Biden administration do absolutely nothing when it came to what was happening on college campuses, to our Jewish brothers and sisters. President Trump said that will not happened under my watch. You see him and the Department of Education with Secretary [Linda] McMahon saying we're gonna hold you accountable for these things.
"That's exactly what we have to do. In appropriations hearings we've got to ask those questions. We've got to make sure free speech is held and this hate speech is gone."
Britt explained: "We're gonna continue to push forward this vision that Charlie had for America of young people coming together, standing up, using their voice and having the courage to make things better, we'll make sure that continues."
"When they are celebrating his death online, not only is that sick and twisted and dehumanizing, but what they're also saying is, particularly on these college campuses to all of these students is … 'Silence your voice.'
"They are essentially saying, Maria, that if you don't think like me, that I believe that we can take your life and that should be celebrated, and that is sick and twisted. And we must stand up in a unifying way as Americans and say we will not tolerate that."

Was the assassination of Charlie Kirk planned by more than one perpetrator?
The FBI is reportedly looking into that possibility as Americans continue to mourn the Christian martyr and civil-rights leader who was gunned down Wednesday at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Journalist Benny Johnson posted on X: "Just spoke with top FBI official who made it very clear that they have NOT ruled out co-conspirators in Charlie Kirk's assassination: 'That assumption is premature. This investigation is just beginning. An enormous amount of evidence has been seized both digital and physical.'"
"FBI sources assure me the public will 'know everything' about the dark internet history, chats and affiliations of Kirk's left-wing political assassin," Johnson continued. "The source then alluded to some online groups attempting to delete or destroy evidence."
"We have everything. We are focused on the radicalization element. The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified. The public will know," according to the source.
Journalist Nick Sortor confirmed the bureau is actively digging through chat logs, dark web history, and affiliations of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in custody, noting: "Another FBI source independently verified to me Benny's reporting here is accurate."
"NO STONE should be left unturned. We must know exactly WHO radicalized this degenerate, and lock their asses up."
Johnson also highlighted concern among neighbors of Kirk's alleged assassin.
"In the weeks before Charlie Kirk's assassination, multiple cars with out-of-state plates were seen coming and going from the killer's townhouse, according to neighbors."
"They did not give off a good vibe," one neighbor said.
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh reposted a message he broadcast two weeks ago in which he indicated "now is precisely the moment in which trans militants are the MOST dangerous. They've lost. The game is over. Now they're more desperate than ever. More full of hatred and anger than ever. They're going down but they'll take as many sane, normal people with them as they can. It's going to get worse from here. Be on your guard."
On Sunday, he added: "Two weeks after I tweeted this, Charlie Kirk was murdered by a deranged LGBT extremist with a trans boyfriend. When I say that these people are very dangerous, it's not fear mongering. It's the truth. Now I say again: it will get worse. We must take this threat seriously."
Elon Musk blasted left-wing violence and the assassination of Kirk, saying The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder."
"See how much violence there is on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. Let that sink in for a minute. That's who we're dealing with here."
Jack Posobiec, a friend and colleague of Kirk at Turning Point USA, appeared on CNN where he was asked if he thought America was "at war" right now.
"My friend's in a box right now. And it wasn't an accident," said Posobiec.
"There's no question we're clearly facing asymmetric civil warfare. One of the key aspects of that is political assassinations. That being said, the idea that we're going to a a classic civil-war scenario, I hope and I pray that doesn't happen."
Meanwhile on Sunday, a man identified as 19-year-old Ryder Corral allegedly vandalized the memorial for Kirk outside the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix.
The suspect is seen sporting a shirt similar to the one worn by the suspected assassin Robinson.
Charlie's widow Erika Kirk shared images of herself mourning over her husband's dead body.
The impact of Kirk's killing continues to spread across the globe, as South Koreans joined forces in public to chant, "We are Charlie Kirk!"
